Travel Programs

The Burns Community Center is the hub for the city’s regional travel excursions and active senior programs. The convenient trips typically include the cost of travel AND admission in one price.

Trips range from Santa Barbara to San Juan Capistrano. Recent trips have included runs to the Carlsbad Flower Fields, Newport Boat Parade, Getty Museum, the Hollywood Bowl and more than one Presidential museum.

Guests park and check in at the Burns Community Center and then leave the driving to a bus driver. It’s an affordable and convenient way to take a trip to unique activities like visiting the California Strawberry Festival in Oxnard or the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach without having to drive.

Upcoming trips are announced three times a year in the city’s main recreation catalog. 

You can find the current excursions at www.lakewoodca.gov/eCatalog by clicking on "Activities" and then choosing "Travel." Space is limited, so register early.

Food and beverages often can be purchased at eateries in or nearby your destination or you can bring your own snacks to many destinations. The bus leaves from the Burns Community Center promptly and guests should plan to arrive-on time to check in. An adult must accompany children of all ages.
